Q: Hello,
Any idea whey IONQ hardly moves in relation to other quantum computing stocks yet it has better fundamentals? Also, is ABCL a buy now? Your comments are appreciated.

Q: Topicus has been sliding a bit for the last week. Can you recommend an entry point?

Q: I am wondering if the Nasdaq listing and mandatory purchasing is contributing to Shop's volatility and sudden upticks lately. When do Nasdaq-listed funds have to complete their quota of Shop purchases? Is it possible that Shop could fall back once this deadline passes?

Q: Can you give me your updated analysis on CloudFlare. It seems to be getting its groove, but do the fundamentals look like a strong growth story ahead? How overvalued is it currently and would you start a position? Thx

Q: Hello 5i,
Of the mag 7, I hold MSFT, GOOGL, and META. Please suggest the next mag 7 to hold or just add to those that I already have. This is for 7 to 10 years. My portfolio is balanced in all sectors as a blue chip, dividend, value investor with some growth. Eighty years old.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i,
Up on SMCI and down on CLBT - however both at fairly small entry level weights - without concern for diversification would you consolidate into one or the other at this time or let time work this one out?
Thank you

Q: Hello, what is your opinion of CRM? The price trend is not too good these days but I hesitate to sell because their future still looks good. How patient should I be? Thanks

Q: Why the increase in share price today? Was it the EBITDA increase, cash flow or cash position or share value related to other industry competitors? Or relief rally after some recent share price pressure?

Q: Thoughts on this ETF.

Q: I'm having a hard time understanding the huge drop in DSG only because I've realized I don't fully understand what DSG does. I thought I did.

But, in re-reading your report, I started to get a "Charlie Brown Brain" -- you know, the part where the teacher is speaking to the students, seemingly very clearly, but all the students hear is "wha wha wha wha wah".

In real world terms, providing an example with crayons if necessary, how does it serve transportation providers, freight forwarders, and custom brokers? By scheduling for them? Is it as simple as that? In essence they act like the "air traffic controllers" for the ground forces of trucking, shipping, freighting companies?

And then, if it's simply a matter of providing scheduling and such, why is there an expected 7% drop in workforce because of Trump. Are we seeing such a huge decline in cross-border traffic?

I "think" I'd like to hang on. As you suggest DSG has now become a HOLD.

Yet, if the tail really is wagging the dog at this point (i.e., Trump tariffs being applied willy nilly with no consideration to the true economic effects on both countries) ... how wise can it really be to hang on? We're stuck with this guy til 2028, presumably.

Conceivably, it could get a lot worse.

A considered argument of the pros and cons of keeping DSG while reviewing the impact and effects would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Q: Would you be a buyer today after earnings release? Looks like a haircut incoming.

Q: What’s your thoughts on this small company.
It’s got good momentum is it a buy?
Thank you

Q: Would you "buy the dip" on DSG right now, or wait out what appears to be a pending fraud investigation?

Q: I have virtually no position in DSG. IS the current drop consists of an opportunity to start building one? Or wait to see where the price stabilises? What would be a good entry point level?

Q: I have a couple holdings that are giving me question for keeping.

I have a cost base of 20 on Sentinel and altho there was some positive stock movement a few months back the stock is currently showing little sign of moving higher. I know they are in Cyber Security. Is it worth holding and where would you suggest the funds could be better deployed if its a Sell?

In the case of SNN my cost is 24 but based on the longer term chart i'm not certain there is alot of confidence in the management when comparing to better performing Medical Device companies like Stryker. Would this be a Sell and redeployment of Cash into Intuitive Surgical?

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks a million.
